Lan Kwai Fong

This weekend we went out to check out a festival that was going on. Known as 'Hong Kong's biggest outdoor party', the Lan Kwai Fong Carnival was a very entertaining night. 

Lan Kwai Fong is an area known in Hong Kong as 'party central' for many expats, visitors and locals. Pretty much any weekend you go there, you will be met by people and music pouring into the streets from all the bars and clubs. Since public drinking is allowed in Hong Kong, many people just stop by the nearby 7-11 and grab a few beers before heading up the hill to Lan Kwai Fong.

This particular weekend was Lan Kwai Fong Carnival. We went and enjoyed some drinks, random shows and a lot of people watching! It didn't remind Ryan too much of the actual Mardi Gras in New Orleans. There weren't any beads being thrown, no huge parades with floats, but there were yard long glasses hanging around everyone's necks full of beer! I thought this area was packed on the weekends normally, but it was beyond packed this weekend.
